@Jacob Groß I know Google put in the account switcher for people who share one account on their computer. I understand your concern about the UI wasting space; furthermore I have yet to find a way to tell Chrome I don't intend to add other users... perhaps disabling Guest mode would help?

Removing the option to go back to the old avatar user switching is a huge UX disaster for me. I have 2 accouts "home" and "work", and I have both open at the same time. The browser windows are easily identifiable by the avatar, and opening a window of another profile just takes 2 clicks.

Now, there's no visual indication, besides the uniform profile name in the corner. And switching things now requires 3 clicks and opens a bunch of windows that no one cares about.
